.SH ENVIRONMENT
For proper working,

needs to set environment variable \fIALOGD_SOCK\fR, so that it contains
path of local socket, used by \fBlibalogd\fR(3) to communicate with it. It shows these
informations just before \fBdaemon\fR(3)-izing itself on standard output in \fBbash\fR(1)
syntax.

.SH FILES
